Google Checkout

Google Checkout is the new payment management system available from Google. Merchants can accept credit card payments without having to obtain a merchant account. In addition, merchants that use Google AdWords will have an icon on their ad to indicate they accept Google Checkout thus driving more shoppers to their store.

Note:
The Google Checkout payment method may be incompatible with some ShopSite features, including Coupons, Gift Certificates, Rewards over time, Customer Registration, Surcharges, Discounts, and Real-time Shipping quotes (including Shipping API).
Note:
Google Checkout can currently only be used by merchants within the US.

Before you can use Google Checkout in your ShopSite store, you must first create a merchant account. Merchant accounts are tied to a Google Account (such as a Gmail, AdWords, or Google Alerts account). After you have a Google Checkout merchant account, you can configure ShopSite to accept payments through Google Checkout.

Note:
Google Checkout uses a callback to notify ShopSite of new orders. Orders placed using Google Checkout will not appear with your orders until the callback arrives.

Setup

On the Commerce Setup screen, select Payment, then check the box for Google Checkout and click on Configure. You will see a screen with the following fields:

Host

Select whether to use the Live server or the Test server. In order to use the test server, you must have a sandbox merchant account.
Merchant ID for API

Enter the API Merchant ID assigned to you when you created your merchant account.
Merchant key

Enter the Merchant Key assigned to you when you created your merchant account.
Continue Shopping URL

Enter a URL to use as a Continue Shopping link after the customer finishes the Google Checkout process. You may want to use your My Store URL from the Preferences > Hosting Service

screen in the back office.
Notification Callback URL

Copy this URL and paste it as the Callback URL in your Google Checkout merchant account Store Integration Settings screen.

After completing the steps above, click on Save Changes to save your configuration settings and return to the Payment Configuration screen, or click Cancel to abandon changes on this screen..
